Raekwon casts Cee Lo in forthcoming biopic
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 4 August 2011
Wu-Tang member Raekwon has revealed startling new details of a forthcoming film based on his early years growing up in Staten Island. Though an actor hasn’t yet been chosen to portray ‘The Chef’ as a youngster, it seems that the role of his father will be played by none other than statuesque soul star Cee Lo Green.
XXL Magazine was first to cop this casting exclusive. The rapper explained: “Cee Lo Green is playing my pops in the film. Cee Lo is gonna play Raekwon’s ol’ dad! He’s a good friend of mine. When I called him and told him about it he was just overwhelmed. He’s just one out of the greats that’s gonna be on the project”. Really? Blimey.
Following the US release of Wu-Tang Clan’s collective album ‘Only The Rugged Survive’ last month, Raekwon plans to put out a solo mixtape in mid-September.
